humiliation!

It was a huge humiliation.

He never thought that he, a great emperor, would be slapped in the face by a lowly concubine! ?

"you!"

Concubine Yao slapped him again, "What do you mean? I've put up with you for so long, and now I can finally vent my resentment."

Qin Guoan was slapped more than a dozen times, and his cheeks were burning with pain.

He stared at the breathless woman in front of him with bloodshot eyes and cursed through gritted teeth: "Bitch!"

Concubine Yao pinched her waist and wanted to fight, but was stopped by Qin Shi, "Alright! Stop stalling and write the abdication edict quickly."

"I'm in a hurry here."

Qin Guoan glared at Qin Shi fiercely, "Don't even think about it! You are not worthy of my position in this life."

Qin Shi rubbed his forehead and said, "Alas, Father, you are really a headache sometimes. In fact, I never think I am stupid. After all, it is enough for me to be smarter than you."

"Do you think I'm just playing along with you and asking you to write this imperial edict? It's because you, old man, are so good at hiding things that I let you live. Is it because when you led your men to attack Kyoto, it was easy to seize the imperial seal, so you are so vigilant?"

"It's a pity that no matter what, it's just making wedding dress for me."

He walked to the pillow, pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it hard. The medicinal herbs inside leaked out.

He slashed down hard, then tore the pillow open with his hands, and the crystal clear object with gold edges was instantly revealed.

He took the item out with a smile on his face. "Hahaha! I never thought you would put the jade seal inside your pillow. No wonder! I've been looking for it for so long and couldn't find it. You're really cunning and shrewd. I have to admire you."

"Anyway, I've said all the nice things I could and done all I could as a son. Since you still don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being rude."

"Go ahead and kill this old beast. As long as we have the imperial seal, everything will be fine."

The commander of the Royal Guards immediately drew the long sword from his waist and prepared to chop.

But Qin Guoan stared at Qin Shi intently, without any fear on his face.

"Hahaha! Qin Shi, Qin Shi! Why don't you take a look at what's in your hand? Think about whether you want to kill me or not."

The commander of the Royal Guards' sword suddenly stopped in mid-air, not knowing whether to chop it down or not.

Qin Shi turned over the object in his hand that looked exactly like the Imperial Seal. It should have been inscribed with "Mandate from Heaven, May You Live Long and Prosper" but instead only had Qin Guoan's name engraved on it. He quickly raised his hand to stop it, "Wait! What is this?"

"This isn't the Imperial Seal at all. Why would you hide something like this in your pillow?"

"Are you confused?"

"Where did the original words go?"

Qin Guoan laughed out loud, and even the pain on his face dissipated a little.

"This is the imperial seal!"

"If you take this and cover it with the imperial edict, do you think anyone will believe it?"

Qin Shi looked at him and laughed arrogantly, then shouted, "Where is the jade seal?"

"Say it quickly!"

Qin Guoan tilted his neck high, looking fearless. "Why don't you just kill me? Rather than dying painfully from poison, it would be much more pleasant to be hacked to death with a single blow. Hahahaha."

"Wait until those ministers ask you to hand over my body, and see how you will respond. Are you going to chop off my head if I refuse to be coerced? I want to see if those eager ministers will allow you, a traitor who murdered your own father, to ascend the throne."

"After all, don't forget that your father was only a marquis before he became emperor."

Qin Shi frowned.

He knew that what Qin Guoan said was right. It seemed that not only could he not kill Qin Guoan directly, he could not even leave any scars on him. If any minister who wanted to replace him came over and took a look, his position would be in jeopardy. He was not Qin Haowen, who was quite popular among the people, and his reputation itself was not good.

Only if Qin Guoan passes the throne to him openly, will those people accept a prince who may be a traitor to the country as the emperor!

His eyes were fixed on Qin Guoan, as if he wanted to pierce a hole in his body.

"Have you guessed this all along? Have you been playing along with me from the beginning? Where did the real jade seal go? Isn't all my hard work enough? What's Qin Hao's diploma? How did he get everything I dreamed of right from birth?"

Qin Guoan looked at the crazy Qin Shi, closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Qin Shi was shaking with anger, his eyes red. "Alright, since you won't tell me, I'll start with the people around you. You're going to die sooner or later anyway, so why not send your queen and your beloved children to be buried with you in advance?"

Qin Guoan opened his eyes again and looked at him fiercely. "Oh! My son, you still don't seem to understand me very well! In order to save my own life, I sold my wife and son to human traffickers as slaves. Do you think I would be threatened by you?"

"It's just ridiculous."

"Unless you give me the antidote and set me free, I will then tell you where the Imperial Seal is and make you the Crown Prince."

Qin Shi snorted coldly, "Alright! I underestimated you, but it doesn't matter. I don't like those people anyway, so let them go to hell first."

Qin Shi was about to send someone away, but another person rushed in from outside.

"Second Prince! Something bad has happened!"

"News from the border! The enemy is attacking again, and this time they're coming with such force that we've already lost three cities along the border!"

Everyone present was immediately filled with nervousness. "What? How could it be so fast?"

"Didn't Qin Haowen already defeat them? What about the peace talks we agreed on?"

The guard immediately handed the letter over. "The details are all written in this letter! Please review it, Second Prince!"

Qin Shi read all the words at a glance, and suddenly he was shaking with anger. "Useless, a bunch of useless people. Even if I gave them the border defense map, what would happen? They can't defend themselves? These are all excuses. Why couldn't they defeat Qin Haowen and Shen Chou when they were guarding the border?"

"What's the point of having these people?"

"I don't believe that a mere defense map can cause them to lose three cities in a short time."

"What? You actually gave the defense map to the enemy. Why did I give birth to such a fool like you? Do you know what the defense map means? You are handing the knife to someone else and letting them chop at you who is defenseless!" Qin Guoan's furious voice made Qin Shi upset.

He walked back and forth holding the letter!

He knew he had miscalculated this time.

After killing Yu Ruyue, Shen Chou left. Now, the only person who understands the border well and is both wise and brave enough to take back the city in a short time is Qin Haowen!
